The way you deleting a chef server user depends partly on the organisation.

If you are an admin type user in an organisation you can delete a user using the knife command.

This command asks for confirmation before deleting.

$ knife user delete trainer

The chef-server-ctl command knows about all users in all organisations.

$ sudo chef-server-ctl user-list
admin
pivotal
trainer
trainer2

If you need to delete a use from an organisation that you are not in, you need to be admin on the chef server.

$ sudo chef-server-ctl user-delete trainer2
